Abstract: Economic globalization has made the trend of internationalization of higher education more and more obvious. Located in Beijing, the center for national culture and of international exchanges, Beijing municipal universities should vigorously promote the internationalization of higher education based on a correct assessment of situation. With the development of the times, the connotative elements of higher education are constantly changing. The internationalization of higher education is discussed under the framework of the glonacal agency heuristic. The elements of internationalization are analyzed from the global, national, local and school levels, which can provide feasible approaches to the internationalization of Beijing municipal universities. The universities should be positioned accurately, adapt to local conditions, and actively promote the internationalization process of Beijing municipal universities in terms of manpower and cultural elements.
